The current library structure is helpful if you should need to locate a book file without using calibre. Most file systems sort alphabetically. First find the author folder by name then find the book folder within that by title.

Having the author name as part of the file name is actually redundant since the folder name provides that, but it is useful if you need to copy the file out of calibre's library structure. (Added: Actually both are redundant at that point, so I guess the order in the name really doesn't matter.)

It seems like a very reasonable and well thought out choice to me.
